Agriculture, Food Security and Agribusiness

Pinasol Foundation’s food security and agricultural programs respond to the needs of rural farmers, enabling them to improve their skills and increase their productivity through access to information and modern technology.
Our priorities focus on crop productivity, diversification, food processing and marketing as a means to increase household food security and raise household incomes.
We also seek to promote enhanced family nutrition.
Projects provide: capacity building and organizational formation, credit to farmers, small-scale business training, improved seeds and tools, training in improved production techniques, post-harvest storage and food processing, and nutrition training.
We also seek to provide farmers with enhanced local, cross-border, and international market linkages. Pinasol has traditionally worked with farmer groups, cooperatives, and especially with women’s groups.
We establish farms to provide employment by producing crops such as mushrooms, maize, cassava, plantains, etc. in addition to poultry farming. We also teach the rural farmers with best practices to produce good yields. The Food Security and Agribusiness project addresses Sustainable development goals, 1, 2,3,8, 11

No Poverty – The project will help reduce poverty by increasing the incomes of farming families. It is no doubt the contribution of farming families to the general food security of the world. This project will increase the productivity of the farmers and help them to run their project as a business, thereby increasing their incomes.

Zero Hunger – The capacity building for farming families within this project will help increase their food production using best practices. This will increase the food produced by the farmers. The project also sensitize and train the farmers on nutritious consumption. The nutritious consumption will lead to better health and wellbeing for the farming families in goal 3.

Economic growth – training and supporting farming families to increase their productivity and linking them to institutional buyers and medium income consumers will directly increase the incomes of farmers by more than 50% at the least.

Climate Action: An integral part of the capacity building is to train the farmers to be aware of climate change issues and prepare their enterprises and themselves to take action to increase their resilience. The farming families will be trained to manage their water, utilize their waste, plant and protect trees among others. This will increase climate resilience for the farming families
